Silver in chemically inert (none reactive) in the presence of water, and has remarkable antibacterial properties. Silver atoms kill most viruses and bacteria on contact.

What do space shuttles and under water crafts have in common?

Space shuttles and underwater craft both must be air tight, and must carry an air supply with them.


Can a space shuttle land in the ocean?

Can it land in the ocean... well, yes, but not without probably killing all the occupants and breaking up. It's designed to land on a (very long) landing strip and not on water. There's talk that the space shuttle replacement may be designed to land on water.


How does the international space station work?

The International Space Station serves as a fueling station for American, Russian, and international shuttles. The station also serves as a hub for scientific experiments and measurements. As a docking station for shuttles, the station is mobile and located just outside the orbit of the Earth.


How do space shuttles get payload back to earth?

When the space shuttle goes through the atmosphere, the space shuttle can then by itself land safely because no fuel will be needed. You can use the atmosphere of the earth to slow the space shuttle down allowing it land safely with the payload. The payload will still be on the space shuttle because it won't be removed, only the equipment will be removed from the space shuttle. The shuttle has to do no work whatsoever when bringing it back to earth because it won't be needing fuel when landing on earth.


How do you go to bathroom in space?

The space shuttles and ISS have special toilets for astronauts to use the restroom. The astronauts must be strapped to the toilet because of 0 gravity. When they are finished the feces are flushed out into the vacuum of space.

Where does transpirtation happen?

Transportation can happen on land (roads, railways), in the air (planes, helicopters), on water (ships, boats), and even in space (rockets, space shuttles). It involves the movement of people, goods, or animals from one place to another.


What makes space shuttles different from other spacecraft's?

What makes the space shuttles different than other space craft is that they are reusable. Most spacecraft are used one time, then disposed of. The Russian Soyuz and the American Apollo spacecraft are examples of this. Another difference is the way they return to Earth. After other spacecraft reenter Earth's atmosphere, they deploy parachutes and make water landings (US Apollo), or land in snow (Russian Soyuz). The space shuttle lands like an airplane.


Why is liquid oxygen used in space shuttles?

Liquid oxygen is used in space shuttles as an oxidizer for the spacecraft's fuel, typically liquid hydrogen. When mixed and ignited, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen create a powerful and efficient chemical reaction that generates the necessary thrust for the shuttle to break free of Earth's gravity and enter space. It is a highly efficient and reliable propellant choice for space missions.


What part of this cell store water and maintain its rigidity?

Vacuoles. Vacuoles store food and waste. Some vacuoles store extra water. They are often described as liquid filled space and are surrounded by a membrane. Some cells, most notably Amoeba, have contractile vacuoles, which can pump water out of the cell if there is too much water.


Does water make sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, water and moisture can contribute to tarnishing sterling silver. It is important to keep silver jewelry dry and store it in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing. Wiping the jewelry with a soft cloth after exposure to water can help maintain its shine.
